sound: Punk/Screamo Indie Rock/Progressive
1994! / Spires
By now you've probably figured out that i've really been digging 1994! lately, but the Spires half of this Split is what gets me every fucking time. Their just so damn impressive right out the gate with the track Leaving For Home. Love the drum intro with the far off guitars coming through like it's a distant radio transmission. Love bands that aren't afraid to establish their sound, it takes balls to hang back vocally on the intro track, always reminds me of Alexisonfire's S/T intro. These guys don't quit through their next two songs giving you lick after lickpg guitar greatness and fist pumping punk anthems. Also i fucking hate Split's that are jarring when you move from one band to the next, this one no such problem the transitions into 1994! is so smooth you might not even catch it on digital format. These two bands compliment each other soo beautifully i can see why InkBlot Records had to snatch them both up. Pick this up on blue vinyl from InkBlot while they still got it, i know i will be :)
